The point of ublock is not just eliminating tracking but also to radically reduce resource use on a page from abusive marketing.
Cutting out 200+ objects, some with significant overhead, on a lower powered device or low bandwidth or long ping time like overseas can completely change a browsing experience from intolerable to completely acceptable.
Clicking ads would defeat the whole point and require all resources to be loaded.
However some day if politicians take enough money from the powers that be and make laws requiring all ads to load, this would be a good alternative to have. (However then they'd ban automated clicking)
